Hi.
I'm playing Civ3 Conquest v1.22.
Republic - Reconsideration in Conquest
The new "Republic" government is toned down overall. Athough it has a bit free unit supports (1,3,4), the biggest disadvantage is 2 gold per additional unit. This makes me to hold back and think if it is still a good government type.
1)
Republic vs Monarchy - in early game
In my first switch from despotism, should I switch to Monarchy or Republic? Is Republic still better than Monarchy in early game? Why?
PS: I have read some similar threads about Republic vs Monarchy. Still I haven't found the answer, especially to the issue relating to "2 gold per additional unit".
-------
If "Republic" is worth switching to, I would like to ask some questions about practical issues:
2)
Switch to Monarchy temporarily, or wait for Republic
Sometimes I find switching to Republic too early is even worse, due to the fact that I get no/insufficient luxuries &/or small empire (eg towns only, low population).
Situation: I am non-religious civilization and in early game.
I wonder if I should do the following:
- Despotism --> Monarchy --> Republic
- Despotism (wait until my empire is mature for the switch) --> Republic
3)
Stay in Republic? Or Switching to Democracy?
Situation:
- I am non-religious civilization
- I am Republic now
The question is what factors I need to consider when making the decision relating to keep staying in Republic, or switching to a better government type (eg Democracy)?
Stay or switch? How to make this decision?
PS: Assume any situation to facilitate your answer/response.
Thanks for your answer.
